She looks quite delighted in that icy water and belies the message of that huge hunk of ice! I wonder what she, the branches and the ice tip are looking at?

Hi Lois,
It always amazes me when I see ducks in the water. They should be frozen but they seem to enjoy it. Awesome picture. Have a great day!

And just think, It could have ducked over to another pond for a Gander. LoL!

Love how the snow almost has a similar profile and frames her path.
